Kept the overall design of the 1st version with a few tweaks and improvements. It was a big attraction at our table at Megacon over the weekend. Everyone wanted to play with it :smiley:

I know the changes are subtle but Iā€™m really looking for any feedback on improving the next version. I know one thing Iā€™ll be focusing on is blending the battery box on the bottom better with the main body. I am using a small project box from Radio Shack and the edges are slightly rounded so it stands out when placed on something flat. Iā€™m thinking of first trying to fill that gap and make it ā€œsquared offā€ with something like bondo and see how that goesā€¦

I donā€™t know how you feel about fake welds, but you could do one of those around the project box

Did you document the parts in your older thread? Since well be getting Matty PKes, the only other real bit of equipment we need is a gigameter of some kind, that this would fit the bill nicely.

Check out my 3rd version, I used epoxy putty to blend the battery box in much better. I did consider welds and I may yet do that for the next versionā€¦
